Reflection Measurements
Reflection measurements characterize a two-terminal port of a device under test. The device may have only one port or may have multiple ports. The fundamental measurement is the complex reflection coefficient (as a function of frequency). Often, the magnitude of the reflection coefficient is displayed on a decibel scale, resulting in a return loss measurement. The reflection coefficient can also be converted to other forms such as standing wave ratio and impedance.
